Chapter 717 Changes and the Bitterness of the Spurs

In the home court of the Warriors, after what happened before, whether it is the fans, or Barkley and Kenny Smith, their faces are full of excitement and smiles!
"Hey man, I'd love to get back into this exciting league if possible!"

Barkley said to Kenny Smith with a look of longing. Sitting in the commentary booth, after seeing the progress of the league in the past few years, he couldn't help but be attracted by the wonderful performances on the court again and again, and his already extinguished Passion, in this touching scene again and again, kept stirring his little desire to fight!
"Man, if you want to go back to the court, I will support you without any conditions!"

Kenny Smith said very seriously, but when Barkley looked at him moved, he followed Smith and said: "However, I have to tell you with regret, buddy, you are completely behind! "

"Damn it, I knew you'd do it!"

Barkley pretended to say something viciously, and was immediately attracted by the fierce confrontation between the players on the court!

On the court, since the Warriors solemnly expressed their apologies to all the players of the Spurs, the two sides gradually played an extremely exciting game in the subsequent games!

As the confrontation between the players of the two sides gradually intensified, under the outstanding performance of the core players of both sides, they were unsurprisingly tied in the first quarter!
Back off the court, no matter whether it was the Warriors players or the Spurs players, there was a satisfied smile on their faces! ,

Wilkens looked at Duncan and the others with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel even more relieved to see their refreshing from the bottom of their hearts!
As the head coach of a team, being able to see the continuous growth of his players feels like his own relatives, which is deeply intoxicating!
In the process of growing up, self-willedness, slackness, trickery, longing, etc., these emotions and situations happen, just like a baby is growing up, it seems so memorable!

Now, being able to see the Warriors gradually growing into a man in their own right has brought great enjoyment and pride to Wilkens' heart!

"My children, I am very proud of your performance!"

Wilkens spoke to the players in a loving tone, and his words directly attracted everyone's attention!
"For us, this season is a year that will subconsciously bring huge pressure!"

Wilkens said with a little emotion on his face, thinking that he had some psychological problems at the beginning of this season, he couldn't help but smile helplessly!
"No one is not excited and anxious about creating a new dynasty. As some media say, if we create the Warriors as a team to look up to, I think it will be something that makes people laugh. matter!"

"However, as a professional player, you must respect your opponents. Only in this way can we be respected by others!"

Hearing the expectant words in Wilkens' tone, even though these words seemed a bit too preachy, Duncan and others who had a deep understanding, after a little thought, secretly remembered them in their hearts.

There is no explanation of tactics, no arrangements for running positions, Wilkens is like a persuasive parent during the intermission, teaching these players a good lesson!
"drop!"

When the whistle sounded for the start of the second quarter, as the substitutes from both sides entered the field, the atmosphere between the two teams gradually made the surrounding fans applaud them!
In this section of the game, although the players on both sides worked very hard and the confrontation was fierce, the atmosphere between the two sides was still very peaceful.

"Hehe, although I really enjoy the feeling of completely letting go of this pressure, I still have an extreme desire for victory. This game will definitely be ours!"

After Ginobili left the court, he had a strong fighting spirit on his face. Even though this game had really grown him, his desire for victory still made him infinitely passionate!
"That's right, we will be the final qualifiers in this series!"

Payton said solemnly to others that as a veteran, he can't wait for players like the Bulls and Lakers, and he can't wait to become one of the players who made history!

Back in the locker room, the atmosphere of the two teams has gradually entered the proper atmosphere, especially the Spurs side. After the Warriors sent super strong substitute players such as Ginobili before, they still seemed a little weak Under the desperation of everyone, it still seems a bit too difficult in front of Ginobili and others!
In the last quarter of the game, if Popovich hadn't replaced Carter and Bosh early, I'm afraid the Spurs would end the first half with a [-]-point gap!
Fortunately, after replacing Carter and Bosh, they broke out together, even though the Warriors relied on Ben Wallace on the inside and Tony Allen on the outside, they were still in the half court. Before the final whistle sounded, the Spurs were only four points behind!

In the NBA, even if you lead by [-] or [-] points before the last moment, you may be ruthlessly turned back, let alone a gap of only four points at halftime!

In the second half, the Warriors suddenly changed their already very stable lineup. Ginobili was placed in the starting position, while Nowitzki was directly returned to the bench, and Ben Wallace was directly replaced by Wilkens. Put on the position of defending Bosh!
Judging from the current lineup of the Warriors, they are obviously preparing to launch a new round of offense. Even though Ginobili and Carter are very likely to start a show of mutual explosion, but in the defense of the inside Ben Wallace, Bosh will play very hard, after all, Wallace is one of the league's best inside defenders!

Sure enough, when the third quarter started, even though Ginobili was already very active, he still seemed powerless when defending Carter, who had evolved into a versatile player!

On the inside, due to his thin body, Bosh completely lost his advantage in Ben Wallace's tough defense. Even though he has the ability to shoot like Nowitzki, but in this In this kind of defense that was close to melee, he still seemed a little lost!

In this quarter, Duncan completely dominated the inside line, and the outside line, coupled with Ginobili and Carter's mutual explosive tie, the Warriors suddenly widened the point difference!
"drop!"

Back off the court, Popovich frowned and kept thinking secretly. Regarding the sudden change of the Warriors, he really felt a little headache for a while!

In the Spurs' bench lineup, there are really limited role players who can play their own roles. If he hadn't put Parker helplessly on the bench lineup, I'm afraid their bench lineup would be useless!
Of course, if he tries every means to prevent the Warriors' seemingly sudden change, then Carter and Bosh will not be able to get an effective rest at all!

"Damn it, why are they getting stronger every year!!"

Popovich still didn't come up with a good solution before the start of the fourth quarter. Thinking of the strong substitute of the Warriors, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of annoyance and irritability in his heart!

In the end, in desperation, after Popovich chose to replace Bosh, the Spurs went directly into a very strong defense!
"Uh. Are the Spurs going to go on like this forever in this game?"

Buckley stared at Carter, who was already showing signs of fatigue, and he couldn't help sighing secretly!
"If the Spurs want to play a defensive counterattack, at least they must guard these guys from the Warriors. Once they have any problems on the defensive end and Vince's physical strength cannot be effectively recovered, then..."

Kenny Smith said with regret in his tone, in his opinion, if Popovich could only deal with it like this in the end, I'm afraid the final result would be nothing unexpected happened!
"drop!"

When the two sides battled to the 8th minute, even though the Spurs approached the six-point mark between the two sides, they did not achieve the desired results in more than a minute. Popovich also had to call a timeout, and he had to make some adjustments immediately, otherwise the final outcome would be the fate of defeat!
Popovich stared at the players sitting off the court. Judging from the current Spurs lineup, the players who can pose a threat to the Warriors are really limited!
If it wasn't for these players who basically made some achievements on the defensive end when they were recruited, I'm afraid this year they will be very helpless to repeat last year's ending again!

"Malik (Ross) you back on the court!"

Popovich stared at the black big man who had suffered an injury this season, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with anticipation!
After receiving Popovich's instruction, Rose, who had limited playing time in this year's playoffs, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, quickly responded and stood up!

As the team's starting small forward, Bruce Bowen is very clear about Popovich's plan now!

Judging from the current strength of the Warriors, if they don't fight in the next 4 minutes and go slanted, I'm afraid the final result will be that they lose and end!
Now, putting Malik Rose, who is excellent both offensive and defensive, on the court, this has obviously exposed Popovich's thoughts!
Back on the court, the Warriors changed again but Popovich had to smile bitterly!

"Wow, Lenny's strain is so cool!!"

Barkley stared at Tony Allen, who was put on the field by Wilkens, and a look of admiration flashed across his eyes!

In response to the Spurs' changes, Wilkens' response was very effective, and his intention to replace Tony Allen was also very obvious!

Didn't you replace Ross?Then I will directly replace Tony Allen to defend your offensive leader Vince Carter fiercely.

Moreover, Caron Butler's offensive and defensive performance is not inferior to Rose, who has already appeared to be in a state of decline. To a certain extent, he is even much better!
"damn it!"

After Carter saw Tony Allen on the field, a bit of bitterness flashed subconsciously in his eyes. This guy's desperate defense is simply too helpless!
